Download page inkscape, please sort by system
Hello web team,
I wanted to update my system and was a bit confused which download to use.
I propose to group alphabetically or by system instead of upload time.
HTH,

Looking at your screenshot, I tend to agree.

Some of the dropdowns also sort by date rather than name, and have this problem.

Thanks for the link Victor,
The python implementation is pretty good as far as os detection goes. It does specific things like parses out known linux variants. A lot of the bog standard os detectors are rather crappy with Linux detection. Do you have any trials on how good this js library is for Linux distros?
We're also parsing out 64 vs 32 bit.

Hi Martin,
I don't have a way to try this since I only have windows machines at home but I am willing to help in other ways If I can. :)
The website download improved so much over the years! It is way more practical than it was before. I was just wondering if we could modernize it somehow... but I know that there's a lot of intelligence under the hood.
I thought it was a nice example, the VLC one, because it auto detects the operating system and architecture (like blender). But it is also very nice to look at the libre office download page example ( https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/)
What is nice from the blender download page example is that it auto detects the operating system and architecture (https://www.blender.org/download/) which also resembles the Download page of Google Chrom ( https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html). One page I really think its beautiful is the Krita's download page example ( https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/) is there something we can sell related to Inkscape (wheter it's professional support or custom made development ) that could be offered at download the download page? I feel we could spread something from the project in this section since it is the one with most visibility when new releases are published.
Just a couple of ideas..

Thanks for compiling these links, you're right they're some slick looking pages. How deeply have you looked at the underlying code? I'm curious how they stack up.

It would be great to have your help with the website. Let me know if you need help getting set up, I try and keep it accessible (although it sometimes breaks, so let me know right away if you have issues)
Anyway. Let me know how you'd like to help.

Hi Victor,
We do highly recommend getting VirtualBox and installing Ubuntu inside it. There is said that one can use containers for Mac and Windows, but I don't know them well enough to advise or script to make them work.
Hope you're able to join us despite the os barrier.

Possibly you may want to look at how to run a Linux virtual machine on Windows, and run the commands inside that.

Hi Martin,
Thank you for your suggestion. I will also try this. It seems that this solution would work on most (if not all) windows versions. Is it ok if I document this on Inkscape wiki?
Let me know. ;-)

Hi Victor,
We do highly recommend getting VirtualBox and installing Ubuntu inside it. There is said that one can use containers for Mac and Windows, but I don't know them well enough to advise or script to make them work.
Hope you're able to join us despite the os barrier.

Hi Olof,
I am trying this option right now and it seems that it will work. So +1 for this! However, since this solution only applies for the version 10 of Windows... and we would like, I believe, to make this more uniform experience.. what would you say if we document a way, in Inkscape wiki, for windows users to download a certain version of Ubuntu (16 or 17, for now) and configure it on Oracle Virtual Box?
How is this seen by Inkscape project? Is it ok if I separate a lot of programs and put then in a Dropbox/MegaUpload account with the links to download? Sort of a Inkscape-Website-Windows-Bundle-SDK-ish? ;-)
Let me know your thoughts on this.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Documenting on the Wiki different ways to run the inkscape.org website/app locally I'm sure is welcomed by Inkscape web devs.
The VBox way is sure to work on most Windows versions, however mentioning that it actually works using Linux subsystem for Win10 users doesn't hurt, I guess.
Happy developing,

Hi Olof,
I am trying this option right now and it seems that it will work. So +1 for this! However, since this solution only applies for the version 10 of Windows... and we would like, I believe, to make this more uniform experience.. what would you say if we document a way, in Inkscape wiki, for windows users to download a certain version of Ubuntu (16 or 17, for now) and configure it on Oracle Virtual Box?
How is this seen by Inkscape project? Is it ok if I separate a lot of programs and put then in a Dropbox/MegaUpload account with the links to download? Sort of a Inkscape-Website-Windows-Bundle-SDK-ish? ;-)
Let me know your thoughts on this.

Victor you could also try the Linux subsystem for Windows 10:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide
Guess it depends on what is in those scripts if it will work.

Possibly you may want to look at how to run a Linux virtual machine on Windows, and run the commands inside that.

Hi Victor,
Documenting using Virtual Box would be good. The inkscape-web wiki is on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/wikis/
A bundle can be made and made available on the website. Although for that sort of bundling (if I understand this all right) you can make a windows based ansible container instead. But I don't know much about all that.

Yes, something that is or is like docker. I hear windows devs use it a lot. But I've never needed it, so couldn't tell you much about any of the container frameworks.
